Costco has issued a recall for one of its products that it says is so dangerous it should not be returned to the store. Instead, it should be disposed of immediately.
Kirkland Signature Prosecco Valdobbiadene, an in-house private label wine is very popular with Costco members for its quality and price. But the company has notified Costco members that there is a serious problem.

“If you have an unopened bottle, do not open it,” the company advised. “Dispose of the bottle immediately – do not return it – by wrapping the unopened bottle in paper towels and placing it in a plastic bag before placing it in the garbage to avoid risk from shattering glass.”
